Over the next twenty-five years, lots were sold, houses and roads were built, and the population of Seaside Park began to slowly grow.

On March 3, 1898, New Jersey Senate President Foster M. Voorhees, the acting Governor of New Jersey, signed a bill incorporating â€œSea Side Parkâ€ as an independent borough, created from portions of Berkeley Township.[3] Originally, the town ran from 14th Avenue to North Avenue, about half its present size. An area known as the Berkeley Tract, north of the original area of the borough, was annexed on or about May 12, 1900.

As the community grew, the name of the borough lost a space. In 1914, a newly-appointed municipal clerk wrote the name of the town as â€œSeaside Parkâ€ in the council minutes. This practice continues to this day.
